Trust Me, It's Not Good Till the Last Drop.

Have you noticed this on the back or your skincare and cosmetics? Basically, it's the 'Good For __ Months' after you have opened a product. 6M = 6 Months, 12M = 12 Months etc.

When was the last time you cleaned out and purged old makeup and lingering skincare?   It might seem like a daunting task if you've just discovered that cosmetics have an expiration date but I have easily broken down what and when it needs to go.  No matter how much product is remaining in the vessel.

Pur YSL Lov

 
What is your favourite makeup item?  Mine is lipstick, I adore it. I love exploring new shades and feeling new textures. I'm as harsh on my reviews as I am loyal to brands and this 24kt gold tube is no different.  With a case layered in luxury, the reflection is so pure you would mistake it for a gold mirror.

But the purity of the reflection only comes second to the purity of the pigments.  YSL #152 is named Rose Grenadine after the perfectly described shade of pink poppy.  When I first spotted the colour, I was refreshed and surprised how timeless it appeared.  Not too pink that it's only for Spring or Summer, with just enough orange to carry it in to the Fall and that Kate Spade-esqe red to draw it through the Christmas season.

Maybelline Fit Me Perfectly!

I chose #130 Buff Beige. The compact is 2.5" x .75" with a 1.5" square window that allows you to see the shade and how much product is remaining. The compact is bi-level, open it to reveal the powder on top then lift at the hinge to reveal the powder poof and full size mirror.
I like the fact the puff is in a separate compartment - it keeps my oil off of the powder plus I do not have to keep track of that thin piece of plastic you get with other compacts.  You know, the one that always ends up on the bathroom floor.  The puff is terry-like. It is very soft and grabs a good amount of powder. It can be cleaned or replaced. (Replacements sold separately.)
